In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Slow going progress with this one. I kept the lights very dim for now so that I could see the problems a bit easier. I got rid of the streak on the outside, but don't know how to kill off the circle yet. As you can see, I am a master at lighting. :lmao:

Cheers Arran. That worked perfectly. The only problem is that since the light is not affecting the bumps on the window, I had to map a fractal to the light, and that made render times a tad longer. But that's okay.

I still have a problem. I don't know what color to use to light my dark room with. Any ideas?
